Chapter 4 Integrating the radio modem This section provides information on the following topics: • Overview • Environmental properties • Storage temperature • Operating temperature • Physical properties • Mounting methods • Cables and connectors
Chapter 4: Integrating the radio modem Overview This section provides you with information on issues that you should consider when you are developing your application’s hardware. You can use this information and the additional components provided with the Integrator Kit as a resource as you develop your application’s hardware.
Mounting methods Dimensions RIM radio modems meet stringent space requirements. The maximum dimensions of the radio modem, not including cables, are: Width 42.0 mm (1.65 inches) Length 67.5 mm (2.66 inches) Thickness 8.4 mm (0.33 inches) Mounting methods RIM GPRS Radio Modems can be securely fastened using a variety of methods; however, you must consider the operating environment when you choose a mounting option.
Chapter 4: Integrating the radio modem The following information is presented as a guide; however, applications can vary considerably. A mechanical engineer can help you make sure that the mounting method that you choose is suitable for your application. Bolts or standoffs The radio modem includes a hole in each corner, which can be used to bolt the device onto a circuit board, device housing, standoffs, or other surface. The mounting hole pattern is four holes in a 62.5-by-36.
Cables and connectors Warning: If you use tie wraps, make sure that the surface beneath the radio modem is flat. Otherwise, the mounting surface can push up on the bottom surface of the radio case, and the tie wraps, when tightened, can push down on the edge of the radio case. This pressure can cause the radio modem’s metal case to flex upward and short components inside the radio. To avoid this malfunction, you should not use thick adhesive foam tape and tie wraps together.
Chapter 4: Integrating the radio modem Note: The interface cable supplied with the Integrator Kit is a Type D 76.2 mm (3.0 inches) long FFC Jumper with 1 mm centerline spacing, Molex part number 210390382. This cable can plug into a matching 22-position 1.0 [0.039] horizontal FPC connector. AMP/Tyco Electronics manufactures a variety of connectors.

Chapter 5 Power Requirements This section provides information on the following topics: • Load specifications • Power requirements • Batteries • Plug-in supplies • Automotive supplies
Chapter 5: Power Requirements Load specifications The RIM GPRS Radio Modem draws its power in bursts; the power required changes rapidly depending on whether the radio is transmitting, receiving, or idle. Power supply parameters The RIM RIM GPRS Radio Modem requires a clean, stable 3.5 to 4.75 volt source that is capable of delivering a one-second burst of up to 2 A when it is required by the transmitter.
Power requirements Power requirements The RIM GPRS Radio Modem requires a clean power source that is capable of delivering bursts of high current. You can provide this power source through the following sources: • a rechargeable battery pack or single-use batteries • a plug-in power supply unit • an automotive supply These sources are discussed below. Batteries If the RIM GPRS Radio Modem is integrated into a handheld device, it can be powered by batteries.
Chapter 5: Power Requirements Warning: You must take precautions with alkaline rechargeable batteries. These cells are not intended to be used to their full capacity, so their actual useful runtime is closer to 30 to 40 percent of a single-use alkaline cell, and they require the user to pay closer attention to the battery state. If you fully discharge a rechargeable alkaline battery, you may only get five recharges before the capacity decreases to the point where it can no longer be used.
Automotive supplies Commonly, in automotive applications, voltages may be as high as 70 V on the battery, especially on startup. Commercial automotive adapters are available that safely convert the 12 V automotive supply to a regulated supply suitable for operating the RIM GPRS Radio Modem.

Chapter 6 Interface specification This section provides information on the following topics: • RIM GPRS Radio Modem interface • AT Commands • SIM Interface Pins • Radio Interface Pins • Turning off and turning on the radio • Loading firmware (optional)
Chapter 6: Interface specification RIM GPRS Radio Modem interface The asynchronous serial interface on the RIM GPRS Radio Modem operates at 3.0V, which means that it is compatible with many existing system designs. The radio modem can be controlled by a wide variety of microcontrollers and microprocessors, such as the Intel 8051 or 80386, or Motorola 68000.
SIM interface pins SIM interface pins Note: The SIM interface Pins only apply to models with off-board SIM cards. This section describes the purpose of each of the 6 lines that comprise the SIM interface to the 1902G and 1802G radio modems. All SIM Interface lines are 3.0 volt logic. The 1902G and 1802G radio modems' software polls the SIM card to confirm its presence. Note: For proper operation, the SIM connector cable should be no more than 10cm long.
Chapter 6: Interface specification SIM test board integration Radio Interface Pins This section describes the purpose of each of the 22 lines that comprise the radio interface to the RIM GPRS Radio Modem. Serial port The serial port uses pins 13 and 22 to transmit and receive and may be used only by a custom application that resides on the radio modem itself (not by AT and data traffic). Flow control lines are provided for only the primary serial port.
Radio Interface Pins Pin Label 5 AGND Analog Ground This is an analog ground for the radio. 6 COV Coverage This line is a digital output from the radio. The active state of this line is high and indicates that the radio modem is in network coverage, as determined by the presence of a signal from the network base station. When the radio modem does not have contact with the wireless network, this line is low. 7, 8 Integrator Guide Description — Power supply These pins supply power to the radio.
Chapter 6: Interface specification Pin 56 Label Description 13 RX2 Secondary Receive This line is meaningful only as part of a debug port primarily for RIM internal use. 14 ~RI ~Ring Indicate This line is an output from the radio modem. It indicates an incoming call on the serial line. When ~DTR is not asserted (high), the radio modem asserts ~RI (low) to indicate that it has data waiting for the computing device. The radio modem does not transfer the data until ~DTR is asserted (low).
Turning off and turning on the radio Pin Label Description 19 ~DTR ~Data Terminal Ready This line is a digital input to the radio. The active, data terminal ready (DTR), state of this line is low, and indicates that the computing device is ready to receive data from the radio modem. De-asserting this line high turns communication off; the radio modem does not attempt to deliver data to the computing device until ~DTR is again asserted low.
Chapter 6: Interface specification Turning on the radio You can turn the radio modem on by setting TURNON to high. The following considerations are related to turning on the radio: • During the RIM GPRS Radio Modem’s startup procedure, which can take several seconds, all changes to TURNON are ignored by the operating system. • Do not use TURNON to indicate radio status. ONI must be used as the indicator of the radio status. It is possible for the radio to be off even though TURNON is asserted.
Loading firmware (optional) Loading firmware (optional) RIM firmware controls the operation of the radio modem. RIM is committed to the quality of its firmware, and may periodically make improvements or optimizations to it. The radio modem is designed so that loading revised firmware is not required; two RIM GPRS radio modems with different firmware revisions will always be able to communicate with each other, and with the same fixed servers, through the wireless network.

Chapter 7 Antenna selection This section provides information on the following topics: • Introduction to antenna terminology • Selecting an antenna • Antenna requirements • Antenna design considerations • Shielding
Chapter 7: Antenna selection Introduction to antenna terminology This section introduces some of the terminology that is used to describe antennas, and expands on the summary of antenna requirements that are described below (refer to page 64). Gain and ERP Antennas produce gain by concentrating radiated energy in certain areas, and radiating less energy in other directions. The amount of gain depends on the radiation pattern, antenna match, and antenna efficiency.
Selecting an antenna RL = 10 × log10 Preflected Poutput Equation 1: Return Loss The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is another way to express the ratio of incident power (from the radio modem) to reflected power (into the radio modem). 1+ VSWR = 1 - Preflected Poutput Preflected Poutput Equation 2: VSWR VSWR = 1 or RL = -∞ dB is a perfect match. In practice, imperfections are inevitable, which means that VSWR will be greater than 1 and RL will be a negative number.
Chapter 7: Antenna selection Antenna manufacturers have designed and manufactured a wide variety of antennas for use on the GPRS network and for other radio-frequency (RF) systems operating in the same frequency range. RIM does not recommend specific antennas because the choice of antenna is application-dependent. An antenna’s performance depends on its configuration and environment; the same antenna behaves differently from device to device, even if these devices use the same RIM radio modem.
Antenna design considerations These issues are discussed below. Vertical polarization Because the GPRS network is based on a vertically polarized radio-frequency transmission, the application’s antenna should be oriented vertically and upward when the radio modem is in use. In small, hand-held devices, a user-friendly design would allow the antenna to be folded out of the way when it is not in use.
Chapter 7: Antenna selection Antenna cable For best results, the antenna should be connected directly to the antenna cable. If you require an extension cable, it should be low loss, as short as possible, and have an impedance of 50 Ω. You must use a proper matching connector, because each connector in the signal path introduces a return loss and reduces performance.
Shielding Shielding RIM GPRS Radio Modem’s electrical design provides high immunity to radio-frequency (RF) noise, also called electromagnetic interference (EMI). The metal casing also acts as a shield that helps to minimize the effect of RF interference that originates in the computing device to which it is attached. The metal casing also prevents the RIM radio modem from emitting RF energy into the computing device and disrupting the computing device’s operation.
Chapter 7: Antenna selection 68 RIM GPRS Radio Modem
Chapter 8 Certification This section provides information on the following topics: • FCC radio frequency exposure rules • Complying with FCC SAR/MPE guidelines
Chapter 8: Certification FCC radio frequency exposure rules Based on FCC rules 2.1091 and 2.1093 and FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, OET Bulletin 65, and its Supplement C, all integrations of the RIM GPRS Radio Modem are subject to routine environmental evaluation for radio-frequency (RF) exposure prior to equipment authorization or use.
Complying with FCC SAR/MPE guidelines For information on labs for SAR/MPE testing, visit http://www.rim.net/oem. During the SAR/MPE testing, the RIM testing software resides on an external computer that must be able to directly communicate with the radio modem. The device that you submit can meet this requirement one of the following ways: • The device you submit for testing must have an external connector that can be used to connect the radio modem to a computer.
Chapter 8: Certification transmits. Integrators should provide instructions or diagrams in the manual for proper antenna mounting and position, when applicable, to make sure that the antenna is a safe exposure distance to the operator and nearby persons. For handheld, body-worn, and portable devices, separate FCC approval is required to be in compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines with respect to the SAR limits.
